Acer Swift X SFX14-41G-R1S6 Creator Laptop | 14 Full HD 100% sRGB | AMD Ryzen 7 5800U | NVIDIA RTX 3050Ti GPU | 16GB LPDDR4X | 512GB SSD | Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit KB | Amazon Alexa | Windows 10 Home

What an amazing little machine!... What makes this laptop the most special is the RTX 3050ti graphics card in this small package. Im an engineer and my work life tends to carry over into my home life. I needed something which could easily fit into my backpack so that I could ride motorcycles to work but would also be able to render 3D models in fusion360 without stumbling from a lack of graphics processing power with very large model files when changes are made. The Swift X handled this issue of mine like cake. I was previously using a Macbook Pro which was about seven years old and it just did not have what it takes to render effortlessly. The screen is plenty bright and has beautiful coloration plus a USB-C docking station gives you the ability to run potentially three additional monitors without a concern. Fine details on the screen are easy to see because of the high pixel count even when theyre very small. The AMD processor in this machine was the fastest offered for the model and has proven to be way more than enough for 3D modeling and even gaming or running other CPU intensive programs like video editing software. Battery life is terrific. I can take this computer home and use it all night long without killing the battery before work again the next morning... As an avid overlander, this laptop has also adopted a new place in my heart as my primary screen for streaming services. Picture quality from Disney+ and such is intensely high even though Im using 4G service for my wifi from a router in my truck out in the desert. I was able to get a 12v PD USB-C charger on Amazon and am able to use this to charge the laptop out on the road for extended weekends. To top it all off, there is a slot for an additional SSD. For <$200, this laptop can have 2.5TB of total storage... WOW!.. Now, the only downside is that the memory is soldered. This could be an issue for some. For me, I have not found myself coming up short with 16GB of memory yet and dont see it being an issue in the future. Overall, I highly recommend this laptop.

I bought this laptop for 2 reasons, 1) it has a rtx GPU which no one offers at this price. 2) an excellent color accurate screen.

We were looking for a great laptop at this pricepoint (around $1k) that would fit our needs in photo and video editing as well as have some room for other things. Needless to say, this laptop has fulfilled these needs and exceeded all expectations!

Got this laptop to do the following stuff

Although the computer satisfies my needs, it is certainly without its flaws. The speakers are terrible - downward-facing, with no depth. I had a audio popping issue due to power distribution which I eventually fixed by adjusting the power plan. The charging cable is also a bit flimsy and stresses me out quite a bit.

Decent computer overall it does it’s job. I was expecting a lot more for the $700 but I guess nowadays you’ll never get a quality product unless you drop over $1000

Considering the internal specs of this model, its a good deal, especially if you get it on sale. The 3050Ti GPU in this unit has a TGP of just 40W, which is on the low end, but given the compact chassis, its hardly surprising. Nonetheless, this machine is more than capable of doing some gaming, but you wont be running Cyberpunk 2077 on Ultra settings with raytracing, obviously. Haha.

Somehow I expected it to be bulky. It’s nice and sleek, and a bit on the smaller side. It has a nice backlit keyboard. I love how powerful it is!

The fastest laptop Ive ever encountered

I feel like it’s probably not a good thing to get hung up on labels.
